    Scoring again in the championship.

    This kid is just a born goalscorer. Whether its Sunday morning, Internationals or the EPL, I reckon he'd knock them in for fun.

    Someone is going to take a punt and give this lad a chance. I hope we don't regret its not us.

    Anyone think we should offer them Connor on loan as a goodwill, to secure first refusal, and track how he goes this season?

    He is certainly an interesting one.

    Shouldn't we try to develop what we have rather than give up on them after a season. It's not Connors fault that muppet Bruce paid 8 million for the boy of which i think hasn't helped him. We should try to improve what we have. Not enough is being done for the younger lads - noble, connor, and at least 5 others should be sent out on loan to championship clubs. Then we'll know if they can manage. yes we have a good youth set up but that doesn't test them. Waste of money for me, stick with what we have...!!!

    After Whickham the only ones I want to take a punt on are freebies.

    I said at the time of Whickham we shouldn't be doing it, this is the sort of thing the top 4 can do as they are in better shape to take a hit.
    The money spent on Whickham could have brought us a proven striker.

    Wickham was all about potential.

    Rhodes is actually putting the ball in the net, big difference. He has a record like 50 goals in his last 50 games?
